Pick a clean, professional template for a Physiotherapy Assistant. Use a reverse-chronological layout so your most recent patient care and rehab experience appears first. That layout reads well and works with most applicant tracking systems.
Keep length tight. One page fits entry-level or mid-career roles. Use two pages only if you have many direct-care roles, certifications, or extended clinical placements.
Choose an ATS-friendly font like Calibri, Arial, or Georgia. Use 10-12pt for body text and 14-16pt for section headers. Leave clear white space between sections so a hiring manager can scan your tasks and outcomes.
Use consistent spacing and simple bullets for responsibilities and achievements. Describe clinical tasks with action verbs and short metrics when possible, for example: "assisted 8 patients daily with gait training". Keep formatting simple rather than adding icons or multi-column layouts.
Avoid common mistakes. Don't use complex tables, heavy graphics, or non-standard fonts. Don't cram text into tiny margins or use dense paragraphs that hide your hands-on skills.
Include standard headings: Contact, Professional Summary, Clinical Experience, Education, Certifications, Skills, and Volunteer or Clinical Placements. Put dates and location on one line so ATS can parse them easily.
